I particularly liked the comment from the guy who was FIVE when EAW was released. Things keep going the way they are and we're going to need to change the name to EAW-TNG (the next generation).

I did notice that there was no mention of this forum. Is that a no-no in their comments section? If not, it might behoove us to get involved over there.

There is not a lot going on in the GoG EAW forum, mainly posts re- problems, plus a couple by Moggy and myself, with little response frown

Most of your posts are just about the old defunct agreement and this forums link. Nothing helping, expect the tally ho site link? right!

Well with GoG agreeing with our concerns re- what you refer to as "the old defunct agreement" they have replaced their 1.28 version with their new version of EAW 1.2.
I can confirm this, as I bought their new release this morning.

It now leaves us in a situation that we can support the users of their new 1.2 without reservation smile

If you had left off the "right!" at the end of your sentence you would have been just fine. As is, it looks like an attempt to foment disagreement.

In the interest of forum comity, if you edit your statement, I'll delete mine.

Jel, you have patiently done great work here. This, combined with the rejuvenation of Tally Ho, will give a great boost to EAW, while leaving open the opportunity of new players to avail of the development of the code over the years. Much thanks.

I can 'vet' your new facility very positively!

GOG have provided a version of the game with the option for widescreen, independent of OS or graphics card, as far as I can deduce. I think most of the new people would have an expectation for 1920x1080, a resolution option which you have provided in the new OAW. I foresee difficulties for some who might wish to try some of the code group setups, as they may experience some graphic degradation, leaving some to choose between Glide at 4x3 or stretched; or the absence of horizon fog.

One downside of the return to 1.2 from 1.28 is making selections on the mission parameters screen frown
In 1.28 to accommodate what were at that time fast computers we added a delay routine after a mouse-click. Otherwise the selections were jumping all over the place, and this is now happening in the GoG 1.2, especially as today's PCs are even faster frown

Interesting, I am running a recently upgraded - although still not a hot rod, I suppose - computer with pretty decent specs. I am running the 1.2CE version on it, which is the Cockpit Editor. It was based on the original 1.2x code, one of the very first compiled, with very few - if any - mods to it other than getting it set up to compile in debug mode ( needed for the internal Cockpit Editor and World Editor too), so basically it's 1.2. I'm running it in Windows 10, D3D at 1920x1080 resolution, and other than no horizon fog, there aren't any glitches at all. I can even run the old 2D cockpits no problem. I also tried an install using 1.2, the no cd fix, and Blackadder's Ardennes, again no issues. No image stretching, either. I did have a glitchy issue at first, but simply deleting the ini and restarting took care of that. I haven't even attempted a wrapper though, so I can't speak about the glide. I have not tried the GOG version....

My biggest issue with the gog version is that my joystick controls are mostly non responsive.

Some people have had success with this issue by removing dinput.dll from EAW directory of the GOG release.

Is the 1.2-GoG rollback release still a special eaw.exe?

With all the features re-enabled like they hacked into 128?

I think so, but I cannot confirm the horizon fog issue because I do not have an nvidia card.
Good framerates, and it can run in a window.
On the down side they are back to the pathetic 1.2 multiplayer system, you cannot select night missions, there is no gun convergence, and worst of all single mission parameter selection is difficult.
When 1.28 was released computers were already much faster than they were when 1.2 was released. 1.28 had a delay system to fix the single mission selection issues, but 1.2 does not frown

Yeah the mission selection I suspected would still have a fast loop. (VBH disabled it in his FXEXE exe to over come it.)

Well no reason to get it I guess, for me I'm speaking for. Not anyone else.

It can work like this:
A new user purchases the GoG 1.2.
Then the user downloads the new patch and applies it to a copy of their EAW folder.
In addition to the theatres and front end the GoG 1.2 exe is replaced by the GoG 1.28 exe.
That is the only file in the patch that has GoG work in it, but it also has our work in it, so there are no grounds for complaint as they got their money from the sale of the 1.2 version in the first place.

eh, by patch your referring to the OAW front-end program?
The registered CDF files where worked on / modified by the code group, at least some of them where in 128 package/archive.
Wouldn't the 128-GoG eaw.exe need those special files to run as expected?

But your saying you want to use the hacked 128-GOG released eaw.exe for your own purposes without asking them for the hacked parameters first?
Hmm. Well its not up to me
.
But If I where you I'd show proper support for the old but super EAWv1.2-GoG digital download to drive purchases first. None of this standalone stuff and inc register game data....
But again thats upto you.

I'm just saying. *shrugs*
